Datasheet Extract

Caused by one of four closely related virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae, each serotype is sufficiently different that there is no cross-protection and epidemics caused by multiple serotypes (hyperendemicity) can occur. In cell culture experiments and mice Morpholino antisense oligos have shown specific activity against Dengue virus.

Description

Description:

Polyvalent Dengue antigen is a 22kDa protein that contains 4 Dengue antigen subtypes, produced in E.coli and fused to a 6xHis Tag. The immunoreactive peptide span from the viral envelope to the non-functional region. The polyvalent Dengue antigen consists of 25% recombinant antigen from each of the Dengue subtypes in their composition. The Polyvalent Dengue antigen detects all four dengue subtypes. The sensitivity and specificity could reach approximately 93% and 96% in Dengue IgG and IgM ELISA assay.
